Music is powerful and transformational, but can it spur actual
social change? A strong collection of essays, At the Crossroads of
Music and Social Justice studies the meaning of music within a
community to investigate the intersections of sound and race,
ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and differing
abilities. Ethnographic work from a range of theoretical frameworks
uncovers and analyzes the successes and limitations of music's
efficacies in resolving conflicts, easing tensions, reconciling
groups, promoting unity, and healing communities. This volume is
rooted in the Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation
of the Society for Ethnomusicology, whose mandate is to address
issues of diversity, difference, and underrepresentation in the
society and its members' professional spheres. Activist scholars
who contribute to this volume illuminate possible pathways and
directions to support musical diversity and representation. At the
Crossroads of Music and Social Justice is an excellent resource for
readers interested in real-world examples of how folklore,
ethnomusicology, and activism can, together, create a more just and
inclusive world.
